"title": "Senior Editor of KQED's Silicon Valley News Desk",
"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Charlotte Masarik stood on her front porch with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, noting the names of each neighbor on her Laguna Beach street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“See, I know them all,” she said proudly, after pointing out the last house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masarik, who moved here from Alaska in 1989 with her husband, is among those who fought for tough restrictions on short-term vacation rentals in Laguna Beach. She said the ease of rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO led to a proliferation of short-term rentals that were affecting the quality of life for Laguna Beach residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just mushroomed this last summer,” she said of vacation rentals in the city. \"People come to Laguna to vacation. They come to party. They come to have a good time. And yet we, the next day, have to get up and go to work. So there's that huge conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tKDcw8oyJIjiEOkP0s2rzsDdqwBzXwEU\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and others complained that vacationers brought noise, trash and parking problems to the city. They also feared that short-term rentals would decrease home values for neighbors and tempt landlords to convert needed long-term rental units into vacation rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few blocks away from Masarik, Manrique Brenes started renting out his extra bedroom, which he had stopped using as an office, in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, he said, there were about 500 listings in Laguna Beach on Airbnb. It didn’t occur to him that he might need a city permit to rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he did so, he got a notice; and when he ignored that, he got a fine. Then he joined a group that hoped to convince the City Council not to place harsh restrictions on short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Masarik’s group won. After a yearlong moratorium, in September Laguna Beach permanently banned rentals for 30 days or less in residential neighborhood — although 81 units were grandfathered in. The new regulations allow short-term rentals in commercial zones.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Coastal Commission Gets a Say, Too\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In November, Brenes and his group sued the city over the new rules, arguing that Laguna Beach didn’t get permission to pass the ordinance from the California Coastal Commission, the state agency charged with regulating land and water use in California’s coastal zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group made the same claim in a lawsuit filed against the city of San Clemente in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many coastal towns in Orange County, Los Angeles County and up and down the coast have passed laws restricting short-term rentals in recent years. But now, proponents of vacation homes may have a powerful ally in the California Coastal Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11300019\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11300019\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-800x481.jpg\" alt=\"Houses line the coast in Laguna Beach.\" width=\"800\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-800x481.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-160x96.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-1020x613.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-1180x709.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-960x577.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-240x144.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-375x225.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-520x313.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houses line the coast in Laguna Beach. \u003ccite>(Don Graham/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In December, then-commission Chairman Steve Kinsey \u003ca href=\"https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/assets/la/Short_Term_Vacation_Rental_to_Coastal_Planning_&_Devt_Directors_120616.pdf\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to all coastal cities and counties saying they had to get commission approval before placing restrictions on short-term rentals. He said the commission would generally not support outright bans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commission staff had previously warned Laguna Beach that it considered short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods a right, but the city passed its restrictive ordinance anyway and sent a lengthy letter to the Coastal Commission justifying its move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Coastal Commission’s new, more aggressive stance on the issue could tilt the battle in favor of short-term rentals along the California coast. The 1976 Coastal Act calls for protecting and encouraging “lower cost visitor and recreational facilities,” including overnight accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission has struggled to fulfill that mandate in an increasingly expensive and crowded coastal zone. Seventy-five percent of people surveyed in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.ioes.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/UCLA-Coastal-Access-Policy-Report.pdf\">statewide poll from UCLA\u003c/a> cited the lack of affordable accommodations as a barrier to accessing the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Willis, the Coastal Commission's enforcement officer for Southern California, said the commission sees short-term rentals as one way to fill the gap in lower-cost accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're looking for ways to protect the ability of everyone, of all economic backgrounds, to get to the coast, and this seems to be one way,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hoped city and county officials would take the commission’s recent letter as an invitation to work together to enact regulations that protect public access while addressing concerns from coastal residents. But the emphasis appears to be on access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're going to start with the position that we'd like to maximize the opportunities for everyone of all economic backgrounds to get to the coast,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Beach officials have said they believe the city’s short-term rental ordinance adequately addresses the Coastal Commission’s concerns. Still, the city has restarted processing applications for short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods, essentially putting its ban on hold.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She said the ease of rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO led to a proliferation of short-term rentals that were affecting the quality of life for Laguna Beach residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just mushroomed this last summer,” she said of vacation rentals in the city. \"People come to Laguna to vacation. They come to party. They come to have a good time. And yet we, the next day, have to get up and go to work. So there's that huge conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and others complained that vacationers brought noise, trash and parking problems to the city. They also feared that short-term rentals would decrease home values for neighbors and tempt landlords to convert needed long-term rental units into vacation rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It didn’t occur to him that he might need a city permit to rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he did so, he got a notice; and when he ignored that, he got a fine. Then he joined a group that hoped to convince the City Council not to place harsh restrictions on short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Masarik’s group won. After a yearlong moratorium, in September Laguna Beach permanently banned rentals for 30 days or less in residential neighborhood — although 81 units were grandfathered in. The new regulations allow short-term rentals in commercial zones.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Coastal Commission Gets a Say, Too\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In November, Brenes and his group sued the city over the new rules, arguing that Laguna Beach didn’t get permission to pass the ordinance from the California Coastal Commission, the state agency charged with regulating land and water use in California’s coastal zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group made the same claim in a lawsuit filed against the city of San Clemente in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many coastal towns in Orange County, Los Angeles County and up and down the coast have passed laws restricting short-term rentals in recent years. But now, proponents of vacation homes may have a powerful ally in the California Coastal Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11300019\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11300019\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-800x481.jpg\" alt=\"Houses line the coast in Laguna Beach.\" width=\"800\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-800x481.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-160x96.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-1020x613.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-1180x709.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-960x577.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-240x144.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-375x225.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/LagunaBeach-520x313.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houses line the coast in Laguna Beach. \u003ccite>(Don Graham/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In December, then-commission Chairman Steve Kinsey \u003ca href=\"https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/assets/la/Short_Term_Vacation_Rental_to_Coastal_Planning_&_Devt_Directors_120616.pdf\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to all coastal cities and counties saying they had to get commission approval before placing restrictions on short-term rentals. He said the commission would generally not support outright bans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commission staff had previously warned Laguna Beach that it considered short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods a right, but the city passed its restrictive ordinance anyway and sent a lengthy letter to the Coastal Commission justifying its move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Coastal Commission’s new, more aggressive stance on the issue could tilt the battle in favor of short-term rentals along the California coast. The 1976 Coastal Act calls for protecting and encouraging “lower cost visitor and recreational facilities,” including overnight accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission has struggled to fulfill that mandate in an increasingly expensive and crowded coastal zone. Seventy-five percent of people surveyed in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.ioes.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/UCLA-Coastal-Access-Policy-Report.pdf\">statewide poll from UCLA\u003c/a> cited the lack of affordable accommodations as a barrier to accessing the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Willis, the Coastal Commission's enforcement officer for Southern California, said the commission sees short-term rentals as one way to fill the gap in lower-cost accommodations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're looking for ways to protect the ability of everyone, of all economic backgrounds, to get to the coast, and this seems to be one way,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hoped city and county officials would take the commission’s recent letter as an invitation to work together to enact regulations that protect public access while addressing concerns from coastal residents. But the emphasis appears to be on access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're going to start with the position that we'd like to maximize the opportunities for everyone of all economic backgrounds to get to the coast,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Beach officials have said they believe the city’s short-term rental ordinance adequately addresses the Coastal Commission’s concerns. Still, the city has restarted processing applications for short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods, essentially putting its ban on hold.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It's a strategy some other counties already use, but in past years Alameda County sent volunteers to sites where homeless people get services, and used surveys to estimate how many people are homeless. For the first time this year, they're trying to cover every block, so they’ll know how many homeless people are in each city, even down to the census tract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roughly 150 guides and more than 400 volunteers have been enlisted in Alameda County, according to Elaine de Coligny, executive director of EveryOne Home, an organization set up by the county to coordinate efforts to stop homelessness. The guides will be conducting surveys over the next two weeks with homeless people to get more information about how they became homeless, how long they’ve been homeless, their health and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the last count in 2015, volunteers estimated 4,040 people were homeless -- 2,397 of them without shelter.

It's a strategy some other counties already use, but in past years Alameda County sent volunteers to sites where homeless people get services, and used surveys to estimate how many people are homeless. For the first time this year, they're trying to cover every block, so they’ll know how many homeless people are in each city, even down to the census tract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roughly 150 guides and more than 400 volunteers have been enlisted in Alameda County, according to Elaine de Coligny, executive director of EveryOne Home, an organization set up by the county to coordinate efforts to stop homelessness. The guides will be conducting surveys over the next two weeks with homeless people to get more information about how they became homeless, how long they’ve been homeless, their health and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the last count in 2015, volunteers estimated 4,040 people were homeless -- 2,397 of them without shelter.

While it points to some hopeful developments, the report suggests lawmakers will need to consider serious policy changes if California is going to build the projected 1.8 million new homes needed by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/plans-reports/docs/California's-Housing-Future-Full-Public-Draft.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Statewide Housing Assessment Report\u003c/a> is still in draft form, and its authors are gathering public input at workshops around the state. On Monday a small group of mostly local government representatives and advocates met in Fresno to hear the report's findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/305518746\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"About a third of all California renters today are paying more than 50 percent of their income in rent,\" California Department of Housing and Community Development Director Ben Metcalf told the group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those paying the largest share of their income for rent and transportation aren’t concentrated in expensive cities like San Francisco -- they're largely living in rural Northern California counties and in the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing home ownership rates at the lowest level they’ve been since World War II,\" Metcalf said. And, he added, while just 12 percent of Americans live in California, 22 percent of America’s homeless live here, more than in any other state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the challenges driving the lack of affordable housing is unstable funding, the report finds. \u003ca href=\"https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/affordablehousing/programs/home/\" target=\"_blank\">Federal allocations for affordable housing\u003c/a> declined in California from 2003 to 2015. There just aren’t enough affordable rentals, and even for those who get assistance, \u003ca href=\"https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/topics/housing_choice_voucher_program_section_8\" target=\"_blank\">Section 8 vouchers\u003c/a> can’t keep pace with soaring rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">When you factor housing in, California has the highest poverty rate in the country.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The authors also point to regulatory hurdles and land use policies that jack up development costs and delay building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the upside, the report finds some positive impact from state and local bonds for affordable housing and \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-funding/nplh.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">permanent housing for the homeless\u003c/a>, along with revenue from the state's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sgc.ca.gov/Grant-Programs/AHSC-Program.html\" target=\"_blank\">cap-and-trade program.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the report suggests there are big consequences resulting from the failure to meet housing needs. When you factor housing in, California has the highest poverty rate in the country. Housing instability affects people’s health and kids’ academic performance. And as people move farther from jobs, long commutes increase pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the report concludes the lack of housing costs the California economy almost $240 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once they’d heard the findings, the group in Fresno offered input. They discussed special barriers facing disabled communities and highlighted housing issues unique to vulnerable populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Werner, an attorney with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadershipcounsel.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Leadership Council for Justice and Accountability\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that helps low-income communities, raised concerns about undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there’s a lot of different policy solutions we can put in place to protect them, and protect our whole population,” Werner said. “I think that’s especially important right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/plans-reports/index.shtml#annual\" target=\"_blank\">Public comment continues in cities around the state until March 4\u003c/a>.

And, he added, while just 12 percent of Americans live in California, 22 percent of America’s homeless live here, more than in any other state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the challenges driving the lack of affordable housing is unstable funding, the report finds. \u003ca href=\"https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/affordablehousing/programs/home/\" target=\"_blank\">Federal allocations for affordable housing\u003c/a> declined in California from 2003 to 2015. There just aren’t enough affordable rentals, and even for those who get assistance, \u003ca href=\"https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/topics/housing_choice_voucher_program_section_8\" target=\"_blank\">Section 8 vouchers\u003c/a> can’t keep pace with soaring rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">When you factor housing in, California has the highest poverty rate in the country.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The authors also point to regulatory hurdles and land use policies that jack up development costs and delay building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the upside, the report finds some positive impact from state and local bonds for affordable housing and \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-funding/nplh.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">permanent housing for the homeless\u003c/a>, along with revenue from the state's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sgc.ca.gov/Grant-Programs/AHSC-Program.html\" target=\"_blank\">cap-and-trade program.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the report suggests there are big consequences resulting from the failure to meet housing needs. When you factor housing in, California has the highest poverty rate in the country. Housing instability affects people’s health and kids’ academic performance. And as people move farther from jobs, long commutes increase pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the report concludes the lack of housing costs the California economy almost $240 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once they’d heard the findings, the group in Fresno offered input. They discussed special barriers facing disabled communities and highlighted housing issues unique to vulnerable populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Werner, an attorney with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadershipcounsel.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Leadership Council for Justice and Accountability\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that helps low-income communities, raised concerns about undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there’s a lot of different policy solutions we can put in place to protect them, and protect our whole population,” Werner said. “I think that’s especially important right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/plans-reports/index.shtml#annual\" target=\"_blank\">Public comment continues in cities around the state until March 4\u003c/a>.

Now she is safe and warm in an Oakland apartment, thanks to a KQED listener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brittany Jones is a student at Laney College and was homeless when KQED reporter Laura Klivans began talking with her as part of the series \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/08/homelessu-a-college-students-life-without-shelter/\">Homeless U\u003c/a>, which explored the lives of three homeless college students, and the growing awareness of this previously invisible population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first met Jones in the early part of December when I began photographing her going about her days at school, visiting her storage unit and sleeping on BART. Even with the situation she was in, Jones always had a positive and motivated outlook. She could laugh at life and was determined to keep pushing herself to finish school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/6WFkcQgqhAY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones’ story was published as part of the Bay Area media collaboration \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project/\">#SFHomelessProject\u003c/a> on Dec. 7. After her story aired, KQED began receiving offers from listeners to provide rooms, storage spaces and anything else they thought might help Jones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a wonderful gesture of kindness, one listener went so far as to pay for an apartment for Jones. Her hope is that this will give Jones the opportunity to focus on her schooling and find a part-time job. Within a week, Jones was safely moved into her new Oakland apartment and is settling in for a wonderful holiday season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of this kind gift, Jones continues to work toward her academic goals and has high hopes for her spring semester classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11230146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11230146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/161118_BrittanyJones_bhs01-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany Jones is a student at Laney College in Oakland.

Choral groups around the world have performed the work since its debut in 2014 — and donated proceeds to support the homeless in cities from Melbourne, Australia to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/304880949″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the Choral Project is performing \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> in San Jose and Santa Cruz, two Silicon Valley cities with \u003ca href=\"https://www.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2016-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">substantial homeless populations\u003c/a>. 10 percent of the net proceeds from the choir’s shows will be donated to the Office of Social Ministry at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.stjosephcathedral.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saint Joseph Cathedral Basilica\u003c/a> in downtown San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen McGuire, one of the co-creators of \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>, spent 13 years in the San Francisco Bay Area.

He also came up with the idea for \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf_exeHB9JA?list=PLwHx0O0gnxuj3Vnf5RZBtImSqzAGvjQrK]”There are so many people who die on the streets every year, who nobody mourns, and nobody knows their name,” McGuire says. \u003cem>Street Requiem,\u003c/em> she says, “is really about the experience of the person on the street, and yes, trying to put the audience, as well as the performers, into a different mindset.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> draws from multiple musical traditions, foremost among them Roman Catholic religious music. The “Requiem Æternam” movement, or “Eternal Rest” in Latin, for instance, is a prayer asking God to hasten the journey souls take from purgatory to heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve taken some core elements of the traditional requiem, but we’ve put it into modern vernacular,” McGuire says. “We’ve also taken out some of the very overtly Christian language to try and make it more accessible to people of faith but not a specific religion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Excerpt from “Ubi Caritas – Charity and Love”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when it’s change I’m looking for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that make you bar the door?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when my hand’s stretched out this way?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that makes you turn away?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ubi caritas et amor deus ibi est.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>(Where there is charity and love, there you will find the spirit of God.)\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> also addresses the multiple ways people die on the street across the world every day — not just as a result of exposure to the elements, but also through crime and government oppression. One of the most touching movements, “Gloria,” includes a phrase from the Zulu language commonly sung at South African funerals and demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Senzeni na means ‘What have I done?’ or ‘What have we done?'” McGuire says. “It also means, ‘What have we done, as a society, to each other?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGuire is not the only musician involved in the project who feels the homeless crisis applies to all of us. That’s why the Bay Area-based, internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade is involved in the San Jose and Santa Cruz performances of \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12685633\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12685633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt='\"The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,\" says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. \"The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-960x541.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,” says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. “The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.” \u003ccite>(Photo: Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s not very hard to end up on the street.” says von Stade, who has performed \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> in Dallas, San Mateo, San Francisco and with an Australian choir at Carnegie Hall. “Nobody’s that different than we are.

The “Requiem Æternam” movement, or “Eternal Rest” in Latin, for instance, is a prayer asking God to hasten the journey souls take from purgatory to heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve taken some core elements of the traditional requiem, but we’ve put it into modern vernacular,” McGuire says. “We’ve also taken out some of the very overtly Christian language to try and make it more accessible to people of faith but not a specific religion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Excerpt from “Ubi Caritas – Charity and Love”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when it’s change I’m looking for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that make you bar the door?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when my hand’s stretched out this way?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that makes you turn away?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ubi caritas et amor deus ibi est.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>(Where there is charity and love, there you will find the spirit of God.)\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> also addresses the multiple ways people die on the street across the world every day — not just as a result of exposure to the elements, but also through crime and government oppression. One of the most touching movements, “Gloria,” includes a phrase from the Zulu language commonly sung at South African funerals and demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Senzeni na means ‘What have I done?’ or ‘What have we done?'” McGuire says. “It also means, ‘What have we done, as a society, to each other?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGuire is not the only musician involved in the project who feels the homeless crisis applies to all of us. That’s why the Bay Area-based, internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade is involved in the San Jose and Santa Cruz performances of \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12685633\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12685633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt='\"The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,\" says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. \"The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-960x541.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,” says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. “The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.” \u003ccite>(Photo: Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s not very hard to end up on the street.” says von Stade, who has performed \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> in Dallas, San Mateo, San Francisco and with an Australian choir at Carnegie Hall. “Nobody’s that different than we are.

Lee said police officers will begin new use-of-force training next week. He said 56 percent of the Police Academy's new recruits are people of color. Lee's Police Department policy proposals include de-escalation training and providing officers with an alternate option \"between a baton and gun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reforms arrive at a time when the San Francisco Police Department has come under increased scrutiny following high-profile officer-involved shootings, which led to the resignation of Police Chief Greg Suhr last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, the mayor shifted his attention to the city's accomplishments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of jobs, the unemployment rate is now down to just under 3 percent. As for affordable housing, Lee said more than 13,000 of 30,000 promised new or rehabilitated housing units have been built since 2014, and 42 percent are designated for low-income and middle-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to help deal with the homeless crisis, San Francisco will open two new Navigation Centers.

"content": "\u003cp>In a tense hearing Thursday morning, the new administration's Treasury secretary nominee, Steven Mnuchin, faced scrutiny from Democratic senators concerned about him profiting handsomely off homeowners who lost their homes during the housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin, whose career includes a 17-year stint at Goldman Sachs and Hollywood movie production, got early praise from Republicans. But stiff questioning followed from Democrats for his role as CEO of a company that took over IndyMac Bank, now known as OneWest, which failed because of its bad home loans and later pushed through many controversial foreclosures, ultimately yielding massive profits for Mnuchin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Finance, called his practices \"predatory,\" saying the bank foreclosed on 35,000 homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"YmtsXp6rqy33N7ojSmMF2XWspP7jyoQC\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While Mr. Mnuchin was CEO, the bank proved it could put more people on the street faster than just about anybody else around,\" Wyden said in his opening statement, referring to OneWest borrowers who came forward with stories of the bank refusing to modify loan terms that might have allowed thousands more troubled borrowers to remain in their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wyden added, \"Treasury secretary ought to be somebody who works on behalf of all Americans, including those who still wait for the economic recovery to show up in their communities. When I look at Mr. Mnuchin's background, it's a real stretch to find hard evidence that he would be that kind of Treasury secretary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, rushed to Mnuchin's defense early, accusing the Democrats of obstructionism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Objectively speaking, I don't think anyone can argue that Mr. Mnuchin is unqualified for this position, so I hope we don't have those type of stupid arguments,\" Hatch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no evidence that any laws were broken in Mnuchin's management of OneWest bank, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the press around OneWest leading up to the hearing, Mnuchin was prepared for this attack, saying he welcomed the opportunity to set the record straight. \"Let me be clear: My group had nothing to do with the creation of risky loans in the IndyMac loan portfolios,\" he said, pinning blame on the previous leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RCmxzsgYvYOCPVh6OHT5Wj37nfQHmZ3Q\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin said in many cases where loan modifications were not possible, it was because of bank, government or other rules that did not give him the flexibility to do so. As Treasury secretary, he said, he would work to change some of those rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin added that his investor group invested $1.6 billion in the bank, in part to help increase modifications. \"We renamed the business OneWest bank and saved thousands of jobs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin's group originally purchased IndyMac for $1.55 billion from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in 2009, then ultimately sold OneWest to CIT Group in 2015 for $3.4 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin, 54, a divorced father of three children, followed in his father's footsteps to Goldman Sachs, where he worked for 17 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign finance records show Mnuchin contributed to the political campaigns of many Democrats, though he was an early supporter of Donald Trump, having met him about 15 years ago, after Mnuchin left Goldman Sachs and started a hedge fund that later invested in at least two Trump real estate projects. More recently, he has been a money man in Hollywood, with a production company that produced \u003cem>The Lego Movie,\u003c/em> \u003cem>American Sniper\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Suicide Squad.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"iTLRylvhCYv7UYwbbmN502h2rPEqXrEz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin's appointment was controversial in part because it departed from Trump's rhetoric during the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a presidential candidate, Trump vilified Wall Street bankers, arguing they were part of an establishment more allied with Hillary Clinton. One television ad featured video of Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein appearing as Trump says in a voice-over, \"it's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On several key issues, Mnuchin seemed to differ from some of his party colleagues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>On the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which some congressional Republicans called to dismantle, Mnuchin said the agency should remain in place, but with congressional funding instead of through the Federal Reserve.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>He voiced support for the Volcker Rule, which would limit a bank's proprietary trading — considered high risk by its proponents. Some key congressional Republicans, including House Financial Services Committee chair Jeb Hensarling of Texas, have called to do away with the rule entirely.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>He supports increasing the size of the Internal Revenue Service payroll in order to improve tax collection and enforcement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mnuchin promised to enforce sanctions against Russia, seeming to counter some of Trump's comments expressing support for Russian president Vladimir Putin.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, Senate Democrats kept returning to how OneWest handled its portfolio of troubled mortgages. In one heated exchange, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown told Mnuchin, \"You've been rather defensive, probably for good reason, about this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin shot back: \"It's not that I'm being defensive. I'm proud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR. To see more, visit \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But stiff questioning followed from Democrats for his role as CEO of a company that took over IndyMac Bank, now known as OneWest, which failed because of its bad home loans and later pushed through many controversial foreclosures, ultimately yielding massive profits for Mnuchin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Finance, called his practices \"predatory,\" saying the bank foreclosed on 35,000 homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While Mr. Mnuchin was CEO, the bank proved it could put more people on the street faster than just about anybody else around,\" Wyden said in his opening statement, referring to OneWest borrowers who came forward with stories of the bank refusing to modify loan terms that might have allowed thousands more troubled borrowers to remain in their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wyden added, \"Treasury secretary ought to be somebody who works on behalf of all Americans, including those who still wait for the economic recovery to show up in their communities. When I look at Mr. Mnuchin's background, it's a real stretch to find hard evidence that he would be that kind of Treasury secretary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, rushed to Mnuchin's defense early, accusing the Democrats of obstructionism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Objectively speaking, I don't think anyone can argue that Mr. Mnuchin is unqualified for this position, so I hope we don't have those type of stupid arguments,\" Hatch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no evidence that any laws were broken in Mnuchin's management of OneWest bank, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the press around OneWest leading up to the hearing, Mnuchin was prepared for this attack, saying he welcomed the opportunity to set the record straight. \"Let me be clear: My group had nothing to do with the creation of risky loans in the IndyMac loan portfolios,\" he said, pinning blame on the previous leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin said in many cases where loan modifications were not possible, it was because of bank, government or other rules that did not give him the flexibility to do so. As Treasury secretary, he said, he would work to change some of those rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin added that his investor group invested $1.6 billion in the bank, in part to help increase modifications. \"We renamed the business OneWest bank and saved thousands of jobs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin's group originally purchased IndyMac for $1.55 billion from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in 2009, then ultimately sold OneWest to CIT Group in 2015 for $3.4 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin, 54, a divorced father of three children, followed in his father's footsteps to Goldman Sachs, where he worked for 17 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign finance records show Mnuchin contributed to the political campaigns of many Democrats, though he was an early supporter of Donald Trump, having met him about 15 years ago, after Mnuchin left Goldman Sachs and started a hedge fund that later invested in at least two Trump real estate projects. More recently, he has been a money man in Hollywood, with a production company that produced \u003cem>The Lego Movie,\u003c/em> \u003cem>American Sniper\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Suicide Squad.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin's appointment was controversial in part because it departed from Trump's rhetoric during the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a presidential candidate, Trump vilified Wall Street bankers, arguing they were part of an establishment more allied with Hillary Clinton. One television ad featured video of Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein appearing as Trump says in a voice-over, \"it's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On several key issues, Mnuchin seemed to differ from some of his party colleagues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>On the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which some congressional Republicans called to dismantle, Mnuchin said the agency should remain in place, but with congressional funding instead of through the Federal Reserve.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>He voiced support for the Volcker Rule, which would limit a bank's proprietary trading — considered high risk by its proponents. Some key congressional Republicans, including House Financial Services Committee chair Jeb Hensarling of Texas, have called to do away with the rule entirely.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>He supports increasing the size of the Internal Revenue Service payroll in order to improve tax collection and enforcement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mnuchin promised to enforce sanctions against Russia, seeming to counter some of Trump's comments expressing support for Russian president Vladimir Putin.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, Senate Democrats kept returning to how OneWest handled its portfolio of troubled mortgages. In one heated exchange, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown told Mnuchin, \"You've been rather defensive, probably for good reason, about this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin shot back: \"It's not that I'm being defensive. I'm proud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR. To see more, visit \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And her security deposit was going up, too -- from $1,500 to $12,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tenant, Deborah Follingstad, was forced to move from her home of 11 years on Bocana Street, and her erstwhile landlord, Nadia Lama, moved in. But that wasn't the end of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follingstad sued Lama, who had acquired the property through \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/18/315-percent-bernal-heights-rent-increase/\" target=\"_blank\">the distribution of a family estate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the August 2015 lawsuit, Follingstad and her lawyer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.tobenerlaw.com/san-francisco-bay-area-tenant-lawyers/joseph-tobener/\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Tobener\u003c/a>, accused Lama of trying to get around a city ordinance that requires payments for tenants displaced in an \"owner-move-in\" eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That litigation proceeded without gaining much attention -- until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobener announced Tuesday that, with a jury trial scheduled to begin next week, Lama had settled for the staggering-sounding sum of $400,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobener said the high settlement amount reflected both what he called Lama's \"egregious\" behavior in raising the rent and the risk Lama ran in allowing the case to go to trial, where a jury could award triple damages for his client's emotional distress claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the highest constructive-eviction-by-rent-increase case we've ever had,\" Tobener said, adding that such cases typically settle for amounts \"in the high five figures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobener said that under the city's owner-move-in ordinance, Lama would have been required to pay Follingstad $9,522 for forcing her to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lama sought to move in to the property early in 2015 after removing an illegal in-law unit that had been built at the Bocana Street property in the early 1990s. That would have had the effect of making the dwelling a single-family home and thus exempt by state law from local rent control statutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their defense was, hey, they took the lower rental unit off the market, they took out the kitchen, and therefore it became a single-family home, so they were allowed to increase the rent to whatever they wanted,\" Tobener said. \"Our argument was, 'Look, you can increase the rent to market rate, but you can't raise it way above market rate to force someone out to get around the owner-move-in eviction protections.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobener said evidence made it clear Lama wanted Follingstad out simply so she could move in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The intent was there, the bad motivation was there, and a jury would have heard that if Nadia Lama had done this right, she could have done an owner-move-in eviction for $9,500. Instead, she took the unscrupulous path and caused the tenant a lot of stress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Follingstad, an acupuncturist, the outcome is bittersweet. She said Tuesday she was \"shocked and super-pleased\" with the settlement. But she added that events since she was forced to leave the Bocana Street in early May 2015 property have been difficult. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She spent more than a year couch-surfing and house-sitting inside and outside the city before she found a new apartment in San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the housing challenge pales in comparison to her main preoccupation for most of the last year: breast cancer, which was diagnosed last May, a year after she left Bernal Heights. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a really hard year on top of another really bad year,\" she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follingstad, who has specialized in treating cancer patients in her practice, says she feels there is a connection between her illness and the stress of losing her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every cancer patient in the world would line up around the block to find out what it was that actually gave him cancer,\" Follingstad said. \"But I can pretty much say that the stress and the depression and all of the anxiety that I went through upon that whole fiasco contributed to my cancer, if not caused it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follingstad said she completed chemotherapy in the fall and radiation treatment last month and that the settlement will provide her funds to pay medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempts to reach Lama on Tuesday were unsuccessful. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her lawyer, \u003ca href=\"http://clappmoroney.com/attorneys/paul-s-sheng/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Sheng\u003c/a>, said in an email that Follingstad's \"allegations/theories about what defendant was trying to do were denied by defendant and were never proven.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the settlement was reached during negotiations with a private mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Both sides to the dispute reached a mutual and voluntary agreement to resolve the case in order to avoid the cost and uncertainty of further litigation,\" Sheng said. \"The parties’ agreement specifically provides that they are settling disputed claims, with no admission or acknowledgement of any liability or wrongdoing by any party.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
